Bummer night,,,,, candled the shipped BCM eggs in incubator....only 3 of 12 are developing, the rest are clear,,,,eggtopsy confirms.

Seller willing to replace them next week, looks like I'll start over again, and they were nice dark eggs, Bev Davis lines. The waiting game continues, hoping the 3 that show development make it all the way.

Also 3 of my own LF blue cochin in there, they seem fine, will be my first blue's from my own hen.

That sucks! How in the world do you candle them??? please come do all mine!! Lockdown is on Monday!!! I tried five lights, candler AND SPOTLIGHT and cant see crud, not even air cells!!! what the heck!!!! I am worried because the bator had a slight.... SLIGHT cooked egg smell when I just turned. So they were infertile? I had alot of serama from Crazypetlady unfertile, she had roo issues she said, but didnt offer Harmony any more : ( oh well lessons learned right? My black and blue didnt lay a single egg yet! but I dont really have the set up for them to lay yet, was gonna do it the first weekend I ended up in the hospital..... I told DH to take the kids tall one wide book shelf down and add some boards on the fronts and throw it in for me and set up a timer on the light, cause its dark as sin in there until they are left out.

I was having a sit with all these chicks, now moved into the garage, some of the brahma look frizzle!!! I love frizzles but I dont want my brahma frizzled, I have no room for them to breed! and I have a plenty layers!!! How cool is a LF frizzle though? I had to look them up, frizzles are cool but I never actually seen a LF one! Seems my friend has a Frizzle ROO! thanks for telling me now!

QUESTION: Do roosters have favorite hens? My SLW Roo "Melvin" only does the brahma breeds!
